It's not often that the Casey Reserves make the news but this week, they're the talk of the town! Fevola picked for Casey Scorpions' reserves Troubled former AFL star Brendan Fevola finally finds a home with VFL club Casey Scorpions for 2011

Good to see Davis and Howe back in the Magoos.

I am really hoping Addam Maric bounces back with a BOG

Nice alsoe see Valenti running around at port. I would love to hear how he been travelling. I still have a soft spot for the little man.

Would love to actually see fev line up on a half back flank...

Would love to actually see fev line up on a half back flank...

Probably won't happen but why don't you get down to TEAC Oval tomorrow at 11am to find out?

It would be great to see Bleasey line up in the guts as selected!!!

casey are going to be tough to beat this week, thats a strong line up for a VFL side

We have 4 tall forwards playing at Casey, and who'll be playing at Casey most of the year: Newton, Cook, Howe and Fitzpatrick.

Anyone else disappointed that one of the 2 available key positions will be taken up by a gambling addicted alcoholic who is no chance of playing afl ever again?

Haven't had a chance to check out Scorps this year, how is young Lawrence doing? He looks likely type.

MFC Player Resource Manager Craig Lees on Twitter:-

That's 19 Demons plus that bloke from Brisbane on display on the one ground and on the one day.

I've arrived at TEAC Oval and we're in the third quarter. Tommy McNamara has just passed beautifully to a slightly portly Brendan Fevola at full forward and he's slotted it through from 50 out.

Not that this has done the Scorps ressies much good - they trail 5.7.37 to 12.6.78.

Nice goal on an angle from Jeremy Howe narrows the margin to 33 points.

Nice snap for a goal from Jack Fitzpatrick which earned a high 5 from Fev. Tommy Mac is playing well.

The siren goes and Port leads 15.7.97 to Casey 7.8.50.

Fev Maybe a X%&$ Off the field but an old coach once said to me you can learn leasons from any walk of life as long as you use the best of those leasons Fev can teach our young forwards how to play good footy all I want to say is boys Be a sponge learn as much as you can Deewakka

And right on cue, Fev accepts a pass from Jack Fitzpatrick and boots a goal.

I don't believe Troy Davis is out there. Haven't seen him at all.

Final Siren - comfortable win to the Borough and they're playing "It's a Grand Old Flag"

Game about to start. Ricky Petterd is playing, as are Neville Jetta and Addam Maric.

Teams lining up an I can't see Matthew Warnock out there.

Are the other Demon emergencies out there KC?

First goal to Port after a 50m penalty was paid against Matt Fieldsend who intercepted when the ball was being returned for a Port free kick.

Juice has just replied.

Ricky Petterd's playing.

Ricky Petterd's playing.

And just kicked a goal. Casey 13 Port 19

Teams lining up an I can't see Matthew Warnock out there.

that sounds to me like there is a doubt on Garland

First two goals Newton and Pettard. Joel mcd dominantly early off half back. Mostly scorps forwards playing like their seniors - missing target with very little systems and not chasing out of Attack

Another 50 m penalty results in Port's fifth goal. They lead 33 to 14.

Port are a well drilled side and are making the most of their opportunities with the breeze. Casey's turnovers have been costly.

Quarter Time

Casey Scorpions 2.2.14

Port Melbourne 6.3.39
